Cleveland District Round Table

This indexes the Probate records held by the Cuyahoga County Archives and filmed by the Family Search Imaging team. This is a work in progress and currently includes 1826 - 1904, volumes pre-A through 70. It includes guardianships, subpoenas, trusteeships, committals, court cases, land issues, road issues, consents to marry, Minister licences, and much more. When requesting copies, contact the Cuyahoga County Archives at archive@cuyahogacounty.us. Please include the full entry information. We thank Sara McGuire for creating this outstanding index and submitting it for our use here.

As of 22 Sep 2011, images for the estate files have been posted at FamilySearch from 1813 to 1918 with a few cases later than that. However, all the images are not posted due to legal issues, so if you do not find your case, it may be coming when this is worked out. Until the index is included, here are instructions sent by Sara, the indexer, to find the images. You will need the information from the index on this site to use there.
1. Go to the familysearch.org web page.
2. Select the search button, then scroll down to United States
3. Next page, scroll down the alpahbetic list to the Ohio listings. Choose: Ohio, Cuyahoga County Probate Files.
4. Next page, choose Browse through 1,106,724 images. (Numbers keep growing)
5. Choose the correct Docket number or letter found in the index below.
6. Next page, select the case range with the case number in the index below.
7. The images will appear. The cases are mostly in order and you can scroll until you find the correct case.
8. Use the arrows in the upper right or the image box to change images.

In December 2013 more probate files have been added to FamilySearch, but not yet indexed. Dockets through 146 (also not quite complete) are there, with files as recent as 1920. More will be coming as the volunteer project progresses.
